Steve,

I didn't realize Chuck (or any of you for that matter) had that kind of 
problem at Hallett.  I wouldn't think diamond plate would solve the 
problem as its still a smooth surface.  As several people have suggested 
the pedal itself seems to be the real issue.  Right now it looks like 
either a spray on substance or some sort of stick on surface cover is 
going to be the answer. 

Thanks!

Brad
